Default Ram air foam seal

Back in 2017 I posted info on how my repro seal had disintegrated. A discussion ensued about the experiences of others, sources for the foam seal, what the original ones were like, etc. I seem to recall somebody mentioning the name of an individual who made a seal that was of superior quality. etc. It wasn’t a company name, but some guy. I’ve been searching this forum and can’t find the old posts with this info. What (who) is the source of the best quality ram air foam seal for 65-66?

Yep, I recall that nobody has had much that was positive to say about the seals that were readily available from the Major GTO suppliers. But this previous discussion included some posts about a person(company?) that made a seal of superior quality. Seems like maybe this guy was more associated with a different brand than Pontiac(Olds? Mopar?)but had created the 65 GTO seal as well. I’m puzzled that I can’t seem to turn up anything on this previous discussion using this site’s search function.
